Interesting.  The blue and gold flag (I assume horizontal, not vertical,
equibroad stripes with the blue superior) is the Ukrainian flag.
Sometime, the Ukrainian flag is overlaid with a device called the
TRYZUB, the trident.  It doesn't look anything like a circle with spokes
though.  Ukrainian uses the Cyrillic (and I don't mean Russian)
alphabet.  So this probably isn't the answer although I post it on the
faint possibility it might be.
